Author: Melvin I. Smith.

This book is a 724 page revision/extension to the author's first book and
includes many more games found under the name of foot ball played up through
the 1890/91 season. The games are separated by three major styles in their
time. The kicking game/association football/soccer is the original style of
foot ball. The second form of foot ball is the carrying game/Boston rules
game/American rugby game/English rugby union game/rugby. The third form of foot
ball is the American collegiate game/American rugby football/football. By the
1905 period these games are known as soccer, rugby and football. All games are
divided into three groups: colleges, independent clubs and high schools; plus
divided into two and three divisions by seasons. There also is a section with
early leagues/conferences. Three appendices list short histories and the types
of foot ball played by most of the teams found in the book.
